So so this morning I had a meeting at 10 o’clock, while I’m on video chat with the people who I was having a meeting with I was also doing my daughters hair, my son was running around, jumping around. I asked him repeatedly to sit down and calm down while I was doing what I had to do, my son jumps up on the TV stand and knocks my mom’s TV to the ground, I tell my mom that I will replace it. She said it’s fine. Now I go to talk to my little sister about you know what happened and I was trying to ask her for advice because she has a boyfriend who has a daughter who is my son‘s age but instead of her being understanding and trying to help me, she gets upset with me and blames me for ruining the Christmas surprise she had for my mom and my brother saying that the TV that my son broke was the TV that her and her boyfriend bought for my brother but my mom told me that my aunt bought it for my brother or donated it to my brother, but yet I was still blamed, and she cussed me out and went off on me. any suggestions? Mind you my son is four and has a speech delay, and is very active. I also have a one-year-old who will be too soon. She has a bald spot that I was trying to fix while on my meeting call. Also, my mom told me that she told my sister that the TV that she bought for my brother didn’t even work.

I’m assuming maybe your mom didn’t know yet about the new tv. Which is fair as it was supposed to be a surprise. But your sister is wrong for cussing you out. You didn’t purposely allow your child to break it. It was an accident. And that could have happened with ANY child. To me your sister owes you an apology. Cause you came to her nice and explained the situation. At the end of the day it’s just material item. And you said you would buy it back. The element of surprise is gone but atleast you’re willing to fix the situation. The meaning behind it is still there. She can still say me and my man bought it for you. I wish you all the luck darling 🥰

thank you
